Inkjet prints on acrylic glass, each 60 x 90 cm
Fear is not only an important dramaturgical component of a detective and crime film, it also often plays a role in Hollywood productions, in order to affirm the targeted white male in his identity. Different situations in which those fears are invoked and repelled are the topic of this series of collages. The pictures are printed on acrylic glass, so that the background shines through and the frontal light casts shadows on the wall. These pictorial objects seem to connect the origin of film and photography, namely celluloid and glass negative, and the contemporary way of presenting images on flat screens. Characters and constellations of figures appear in which fears of the society are inscribed. These are fears that lead to oppression and discrimination and that are here multiplied and intensified to the monstrous. They develop a life of their own in the frameless windows to the media dream world.
